How to Lose 100 Pounds or More, Get Fitter and Stronger - Tips for Mental & Physical Fitness - The Story of Hashi Mashi

Once upon a time, when I was hovering at 275 pounds, I was called 'fat bastard'. I know, not too much fun. That did not feel good. I had idea how to get fitter and stronger. One evening after having tried so many diets, I figured I would do something different. I thought to focus on vegetables, fresh foods, stay away from processed, and added deadlifts, squats, pushups, pull-ups and bench press. I am under 200 pounds now and still a work in progress, but fitter and stronger than before. In this category, I hope to motivate anyone else who has struggled with obesity, depression, family estrangement, and/or life after divorce for men or women to get fitter and stronger than ever before.

Less is more when it comes to Getting Fit

By Richard Hashimashi, CPT, INHC - Last Updated September 6, 2017

Less is More Sometimes, less is more. Back on October 7, I began a beginner strength training routine in earnest. So far, less is more has been working. I decided to start with only two weight lifting exercises, squats, and deadlifts. And a few additional single joint exercises on top of the squats and deadlifts. Back in October, I was not using any weight, just body weight and working on form. First, reading about the correct form in Starting Strength. Second, visualizing myself doing … [Read more...]

High Cholesterol Action Needs to be Taken Now

By Richard Hashimashi, CPT, INHC - Last Updated July 3, 2017

How to deal with High Cholesterol? What do you do when you need a high cholesterol action plan? I originally wrote this post when my cholesterol was showing numbers higher than 200. In fact, these cholesterol numbers were higher than 260, how bad. My doctor was reading me the riot act. "What are you doing? Your numbers are way too high! You must take statins immediately!" I just hated the idea of statins. When I started Hashi Mashi, I did not know that there was a diet called … [Read more...]

By Richard Hashimashi, CPT, INHC - Last Updated August 17, 2016

Getting lean and staying healthy is a work in progress. How do we create habits that will help us on this journey? Last night I really pushed myself to get to sleep early. Typically, I like the late evening because it is very quiet and great for reading. But at what expense? What time do you get to sleep? I am usually lucky if I get to sleep by 12 or 1 or even worse 2 am and still getting up at six. Yesterday I tried out a new idea. The main idea was to spread out my meals so that … [Read more...]

Deadlift and Squat Workout 170 & 130 pounds

By Richard Hashimashi, CPT, INHC - Last Updated June 5, 2017

Deadlifting 170 pounds seemed out of reach for me not too long ago. I want to get stronger as time goes on and deadlifts are a reasonable ticket to do my best to make that happen. First, as usual, I believe that a squat workout before deadlifts is a great way to warm up for your deadlift workout. I know that some people out there encourage doing a lower and upper body workout on the same day. There are others who recommend splitting your upper body and lower body workouts. At this point, I … [Read more...]

The No Bread Diet is the Yes Vegetable Diet. There are basics, like we all need fresh air to breathe and pure water to drink. I think it is also reasonable to look at vegetables as a basic.
